Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility: All types of domestic entities are eligible to apply as the lead institution, except other Federal agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. That being said, multi-disciplinary and inter-institutional collaborations are strongly encouraged to enhance and strengthen research capabilities as needed. Collaboration could include institutions such as universities, industry, non-profit organizations, federal laboratories and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), including the DOE National Laboratories. However, contributions by international entities and federal laboratories and FFRDCs, including the DOE National Laboratories, should be limited to filling critical voids in expertise and represent only a modest portion of the overall effort. All collaborative applications should include letters of agreement from each collaborator who would receive funding. These letters should specify the contributions the collaborators intend to make if the application is accepted and funded. Applications for multi-investigator projects should present a management structure for integrating collaborating investigators. Involvement of students and post doctoral scientists is encouraged.

Grant Description: The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for Research in Integrated Assessment Inter-Model Development, Testing, and Diagnostics under the Integrated Assessment Research Program (IARP). The IARP, located within the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD) of BER, supports the DOE mission and the U.S. Global Change Research Program?s interests to improve fundamental understanding of the interactions between human and natural systems in climate change, including the central role and implications for energy systems, and to develop the integrated, science-based models and tools that inform national and regional decision-making on options for mitigation and adaptation. In the broadest sense, IARP is concerned with modeling in collective frameworks, the end-to-end processes of climate change and the comple x, non-linear interactions among major human and natural systems. To strengthen the scientific foundations upon which Integrated Assessment models are built, DOE is requesting applications for a single, coordinated research effort that will: 1) advance progress on a select set of major scientific challenges in the field of Integrated Assessment that are widely recognized and confronting the major Integrated Assessment modeling teams, 2) advance methods and capabilities for inter-model testing and diagnostics, and 3) enhance capabilities for multi-model, ?ensemble-like? analyses for improved insights in science studies and science-based analyses.
